I'm looking at potentially getting a Bongo. Most probably a 5 HH. I can't decide between the Blood Orange or the Mantis Green. I'll most probably have to thin the herd. From what I've heard of the Bongo's, I love the sound. Looking forward to trying to one out soon.
I just went through this whole thread and the member that was administering and providing numbers has not responded to this thread since 2015 and has not posted anything to TB in about a year. I hope all is well with him.
I already handle the numbering duties for the Fender Jazz and Epiphone Rumblekat clubs, I can take over this one too if there are no objections or if someone else wants to take over. Either way, let me know.
I DM'd Alvaro Martin Gomez and he said he is no longer active on this board and said I can take over. I'm currently halfway thru Part 1 gathering all the member names and their respective numbers and adding them to a spreadsheet. It will take a few days to gather all the information and get everything up to date. I will post the updates here when completed.
OK I completed the research on all threads and compiled all the numbers. There are still several members that asked for a number that never received one. So far, please welcome these newest members:

I will continue going through the rest of the thread as time allows and provide more numbers. Stay tuned!

Myung apparently had switched the hardware to black hardware on his Sunset Orange:
It looks even better that way.

If you want to mimic it, EBMM sells the parts as replacements. Shop Ernie Ball Music Man - Parts Shop for Music Man Guitars and Basses
They don't seem to have the black tuner keys and I imagine that the bridge for the Myung's it's a different bridge either. I email Music Man to ask about a custom order but they answered that they can't/don't do that for the Myung's.
You can get the tuner keys if you live in the US, which may be an issue for you since your photo seems to have a Euro-esque background. There is an option for chrome or black (link to bass side tuners below).

I've just been made aware of this club, and the fact that I don't have a number. Hoping to remedy that. Here are my 2 desert gold bongos.
Excellent collection! Jealous of that Big Al you've got there. I'm still on the hunt for one of those for my collection.
I saw one posted in the classifieds recently with a fancy custom paint dip on it...
I'm looking for a Bongo HS 4 string if you ever decide to sell
Anyone else out there, that goes for you too!
Definitely made me think of frosted flakes
Proud to join this club with this 04 bongo HS no burgundy good partner with my lakland dj4
